Leap second caused a debarkle

[rankamateur]

If the Y2K bug was half as disruptive as the leap second it needn't have gone down in history as the biggest con, or fraud, or deception of all time as it was. People flying yesterday like my daughter yesterday morning Armidale to Canberra via Sydney did arrive but still don't have their luggage, which the airlines promised last night by 2200. They were lucky to get the passengers there I guess, the computer system crashed after the last passenger was checked in but before they could print the manifest, caused a 40 minute delayed departure but apparently Sydney was a total mess and baggage handling melted down. Guess she was lucky she booked here baggage through to Canberra. And think if you blinked at the wrong moment you would have completely missed the leap second we had to have.

I'll second that.
